This drill is really helping me with my hip slide/lateral move in my downswing.
I’ll be honest, I have a hard time feeling the catapult concept. I just feel like I’m making an “armsy” swing, but on video, my hips are actually rotating nicely.
My biggest issue is that I just keep shanking it! I hit tons of shots out of the heel, and about 5% shanks. Even when I hit a good one with this drill, I’ll hook a 7 iron 30-40 yards left of target.
I’m not sure if I’m trying to hit the ball, rather than swinging to the target or what, but I could use some help!
Thanks
Good; see the “blur of club” video on premium; and see the blur appear as you swing the club and cut grass in both directions . Then see “distance to ball” video and “football drill series” to make some space for the arms and club in front of the body. Throw the football with feet together. Shawn
Hello Shawn,
I just started learning your techniques and I seem to make very good contact with the feet together drill. I say seem because I spent 5 hours hitting into a net this afternoon. My reference is the pattern on the club face and feel through the hands. However, when I take a normal stance I begin spraying again. Do you have any thoughts on transitioning from feet together into a normal stance. I started the feet together drill with a 6lb sledgehammer 😁
Thanks,
Josh
Right on Josh!
Ok, so the next to last video in the premium called “Tilt Awareness-Direction-practice” is the one you want to see to get awareness to how the center of the swing is allowed to stay in place; then see “mile markers for balance” and then go to the “consistency series” in video #4, for mile markers for direction.
We keep building; but keep coming back to feet together as a warm up to every routine and a benchmark for your swing’s center!
This drill saved my sanity. I intend to do this at the start of every practice. Thanks Shawn!
That would be a very wise thing to do! Many of my good players have benefitted greatly from doing this!
Looking for confirmation of a feeling . When the butt swivels to counter balance the arms in the backswing I feel my right heel (right handed golfer)put pressure into the ground to move my right hip towards the target and it feels like my left knee is pulling my left hip away from target . When I put the feet apart for a regular golf swing I get the same sensation , my knee comes to the ball or behind it and my back gets turned to the target. After that the arms levitate and the club sets the wrist , would all these sensation and feels be accurate on achieving a complete backswing ?
This is how I would describe it on paper! 👍😀
Do you feel that the inside arch of the right foot never gives up it’s suction as well during this motion?
Shawn
Yes the suction stays on the arch of the right foot and feel that the braced tilt helps achieve that .
I have seen many of your videos on YouTube and joined your web site. here is my question since I am new to your site. Since you have SO Many videos, is there an order to watching them in order to learn your method. In so many of your videos, you refer back to anther video that you have done and I feel like I am not watching your videos in a proper order, so that I can learn your process from beginning to end. I want to learn your method, but am thoroughly confused as to how to go about it. Your recommendation would be most helpful.. I have been playing for many years, but I do believe you can teach an old dog new tricks and your method is one that I would like to adopt. I would say, I am more of ball picker, not much of a divot taker because I have not learned how to get my hands to go ahead of the ball. I openly admit, I do try to hit the ball and have been doing it so long, that it is a very hard habit to break. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Best thing to do is follow in chronological order and make notes on the things that resonate with you and understand the things that resonate less and let them wash over you; go with 1.0 first and then in chrono order and take your time and enjoy! It is already a 20 year shortcut in 3 years or less.
Shawn
Sorry, but I find this as an incomplete answer. What is 1.0? Is this in lessons? Please be more precise.
If you look at the list of categories on the right hand side of this page, at the bottom is 1.0
It is a series of 5 videos of about an hour that take you through the original series I did in 2013; it takes you through our fundamentals in priority sequence and gives you the base;
Then as you continue after this in chronological order, you will see the refinements that have been added to this base and how it evolves into tasks into flight plans to your targets and continues to strip away at what is less important and what is essential to consistent golf shots.

“Get out of the way. Get out of the way.” Sean, this feet together drill has really helped me rotate my hips, clear my chest and let my arms clear my body. Helped me feel the sensation of the “Core of WIG” – the body turn rather than the arm swing. Thanks.
Yes man!! Love love love this drill!!
